Saturday, September 3, 2016

Hello, all--

Man, it’s September! ⅔ of 2016 is in the rearview mirror, and I feel like Mad Max chained to the front of a War Boy battle-car barreling into a tornado dust storm. Monday is LABOR DAY, and we will be closing at 5PM so Rawn can get out of their in time to meditate on how quickly time is passing.

Speaking of Rawn, check out the sweet VELOCITY COMICS STICKER he created! We have a big stack of ‘em for you, $2 each.

Did you make it out to our BECKY CLOONAN signing? It was an excellent time, but if you missed it Becky was a signing warrior and threw her signature on all the remaining products in which she had a hand in creating. Come by and grab one while supplies last!

LAST CALL! The following titles ship around SEPTEMBER 28th, but our order quantities lock on them Monday 9/5. Please let us know if you want them, subscribers, so we can gauge interest and order accordingly! Great list:

TARZAN ON THE PLANET OF THE APES (Dark Horse) The name about sums it up, eh?

BATMAN BEYOND REBIRTH (DC) Terry McGuinness is back in black! And red.

FROSTBITE (DC/Vertigo) Josh Williamson is one of slowest hitting overnight sensations of the last few years, making great comics at Image for before breaking suddenly huge for DC on Flash. This here is his new Vertigo series, a post-apocalyptic 2nd Ice Age romp!

TEEN TITANS REBIRTH (DC) This is the one I’ve been waiting for! Damian Wayne kidnaps Raven, Beast Boy, Kid Flash and Starfire and forces them to be his Teen Titans and hunt down his grampa, Ra’s Al Ghul! I am very sure this will be one of the best Rebirth books, and considering how good they are that’s a big statement.

DIRK GENTLY: SALMON OF DOUBT (IDW) Continuing the series of miniseries.

STAR TREK: WAYPOINT (IDW): An anthology with stories from all Treks!

SURGEON X (Image) This sci-fi antibiotic apocalypse was strong enough to bring Vertigo founder Karen Berger out of retirement to edit. I can’t imagine a larger support boost than that.

CHAMPIONS (Marvel) The first in Marvel’s latest Marvel Now! Branding strategy-- Miles Morales, Ms Marvel, Viv Vision, Nova, Amadeus Cho as Hulk, and time displaced Cyclops band together as a new teen super team!

JOSIE & THE PUSSYCATS (Archie) The modern renaissance of Archie Comics continues! Written by Richmond native Marguerite Bennett!
